Not SR, but Tentacruel would probably not be OU without Toxic Spikes, but for a small niche in countering Infernape in stall.
+ An auto Trick-Roomer, Gravitier, or hold items that extend the duration of these, like Smooth/Damp/Heat Rock.
Apparently, the one guy responsible for the earliest leaks (usually on the 10th and kinda often on the 9th) "retired" a while ago. Nowadays we should start expecting for Corocoro scans on the 12th, the earliest being the 11th.
...By the way, has Melkor said Rankurusu's and Gochiruzeru's Dex numbers already?
Nope, no numbers for them yet.
RBY?
Also, Poison is a decent type actually. Sure, it's bad offensively but quite decent defensively.
Can we stop talking metagame for now? It's not really that relevant now as the games hasn't been released yet.
Anyways, DFang, that Melkor guy has already mentioned Shimama and it's evolution. It's at 52o something if I remember it all correctly.
I myself don't believe a thing until I get confirmed info with solid evidence of it.
If, IF, this Melkor guy is telling us the truth, then Chillarmy should be 571 (if Victini is in the end of the National Pokédex) or 572 (if Victini is 494 as Melkor says and if it's true). Let's see where it ends up to be.

According to the magazine that's slowly leaking that was released recently, Tsutarja and its evos represents Europe, Pokabu and its evos represents China, and Mijumaru and its evos represents Japan. Also Isshu (at least Huin City) = New York.
Thanks, but I referenced Shikijika, not Shimama!
In RBY it had nothing resisting it but itself. But since then, it got nerfed beginning with adding Steel/Dark in GSC.
Poison has 4 resistances and 2 weaks(one being way too common. Plus, it´s main point, Toxic is learned by almost everything and besides Weezing and possibly Drapion there are no defensively strong Poison types. Altough it would be cool to see another defensive Poison type that is not destroyed by Scizor(like Weezing is).
As for the Rankurusu not being Lv50 on this status screen: I think that was revealed together with a screen of a Lv50 Rankurusu battling a Lv50 Gochiruzeru. Not entirely sure about that tough.
o_O What is that supposed to mean? I hope this means Miju3 is actually a samurai, and not a otter / narwhal fusion (THOUGH we definitely need a Narwhal pokemon, because Narwhal's are fucking cool). While I'm on the topic of aquatic animals becoming pokemon, where is my Squid pokemon?
But yeah, I don't understand how Tsutarja or Pokabu represent Europe or China.
IIRC, that magazine (Pokémon Pia, I guess) is only recognized by The Pokémon Company; it's an independent magazine, not official by any means.
So no, we have no confirmation of Isshu really being New York.
DRAGONS
Yeah, I should have been more clear. Sorry. I was just in a bit of a rush, trying to get ready for class and stuff.
Reading forums makes me late for class.

Okay, I'm starting to think this might be a little more credible simply because that looks so much like the mystery pokemon running round outside the daycare.
Of course a fakemon-manufacturer could always have used that as a reference.

I'll take thier word over Melkors simply due to relying on accuracy of statements since its a magazine and not a webpage that get money by 'hits'.
I can kinda see what they are saying about Tsutaja and Mijumaru representing (inspired by) Europe and Japan respectively.
Tsutaja definately has the makings of being aristocratic, and this has been capitalized by the community as well as commercials (Top hat and cane in musical). I don't know how a third more snake like evolution would follow or expand upon the idea though.
Mijumaru is easily a samuria. Its stage one's shell placement makes me think of an armored midrift that an inexperienced farmer or villager would have. Its second stage is clearly getting a more defined samurai look with the shells moving into the 'pants' and his pose. And for a third stage I expect a seashell encrusted Otter Samurai. Hehe, what if his 'sword' is a spike of a Cloyster ^_^?
Pokabu being inspired by China is a bit hard for me to see. I guess it goes with the Zodiac on one hand, but their is very little ability to anthropomorphize a four legged creature. This could mean that he does come up on two legs at some point, which considering all prior fire evos, makes sense. It definately contradicts the 'greek potery' or 'sumo wrestler' style that Melkor would have us believe.
As for Hunin City being modled by NYC, it makes sense. The architecture is decidedly Modern which you don't see often in newer cities (Post Modern in most Asian Cities).
I'm not sure if this was pointed out, but that one really old picture with pokabu3 fighting the clown nosed fighting type thing on the ds has his back sprite only his upper half. I thought in BW the backsprite was the back view of the entire pokemon's body.
I don't know what the status on that pic is, other than the names are fake, but somewhere I read they claimed the sprites are real.

That means nothing. The UK version of the magazine just pulled all of its B/W info off Serebii. What's to say this magazine's any better informed?
Hence my lack of belief.
They tried to go the route of "I got an advanced copy," only to have it fail due to obvious reasons. So then imediately after they claim that they have a sheet that has all the pokes, names, and types.... in sprite form. (Wouldn't N of Mexico/Spain/W.E. try to get translations based on more accurate official artwork?)
If thats not fishy... do I have to slap you people with a Goldeen?
But in this drought of info so close to release anyone is willing to believe anything. We're in a sort of withdrawl induced inebriation. Combine this with the new sites being coy about whats authentic and why and you get an HG Wells Radio Broadcast of War of the Worlds style pandemonium... pokemonified.

Edit:
And he's posting everything on a website? Hrm... Sounds like if it were true... he'd lose his job.

How is a snake a dragon!? By going the route that the 'animal' represents the region your narrowing what they could be meaning. No otter is inately Japanese, only when you make him a samurai does he become japanese.
So a snake becomes European when he becomes an aristocrat. (insert dirty joke)
He and Hiro are only posting fanarts and vague descriptions based on sprites, not copyrighted stuff.
I'm neutral at this point, anyway.
I didn't say that...
Psikid at Serebiiforums said:
Well.
can someone clear up something for me? does anyone know if emonga is a real pokemon or not? serebii said it was fake, but it's still on their new pokemon page...
That's amazing, I hope it's true. I'll definitely be picking Mijumaru, then.
